Item 1

 
such drawings. The clearing corporation may be the top-tier
securities intermediary for the securities pledged, so that it
would not be practical for the lender to obtain control. Even
where the clearing corporation holds some types of securities
through other intermediaries, however, the clearing corporation
is unlikely to be able to complete the arrangements necessary to
convey "control" over the securities to be pledged in time to
complete settlement in a timely manner. However, the term
"securities intermediary" is defined in Section 8102(a)(14) to
include clearing corporations. Thus, the perfection rule of
paragraph (10) [Maine cite paragraph (j)] applies to security
interests in investment property granted by clearing
corporations.

 
7. Beneficial Interests in Trusts. Under former Section 9-
302(1)(c), filing was not required to perfect a security interest
created by an assignment of a beneficial interest in a trust.
Because beneficial interests in trusts are now used as collateral
with greater frequency in commercial transactions, under this
Article filing is required to perfect a security interest in a
beneficial interest.

 
8. Assignments for Benefit of Creditors. No filing or other
action is required to perfect an assignment for the benefit of
creditors. These assignments are not financing transactions, and
the debtor ordinarily will not be engaging in further credit
transactions.

 
§9-1310.__When filing required to perfect security interest or

liens to which filing provisions do not apply

 
(1)__Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2) and
section 9-1312, subsection (2), a financing statement must be
filed to perfect all security interests and agricultural liens.

 
(2)__The filing of a financing statement is not necessary to
perfect a security interest:

 
(a)__That is perfected under section 9-1308, subsection (4),
(5), (6) or (7);

 
(b)__That is perfected under section 9-1309 when it
attaches;

 
(c)__In property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty
described in section 9-1311, subsection (1);

 
(d)__In goods in possession of a bailee that is perfected
under section 9-1312, subsection (4), paragraph (a) or (b);
